The new house

Finally, I am able to bring you some shots of the house - which has a continuing investigation of how Frank Lloyd Wright or his firm was associated with the construction. Due to the in-exhaustible efforts of Patrick, I returned for a week home in January to curtains and paintings hung, kitchen organized and office prepared for my continuing organization. We even spent some time rearranging furniture.
We're both in love with the house - enjoying the beautiful light streaming in from skylights in the mornings, the peace of the surrounding orchards AND being able to function in the kitchen while Patrick sleeps without trying to muffle the sound of the coffee grinder. Note to mention the return of Patrick's piano, a gorgeous instrument, with as gorgeous a voice and player. I'll have to get used to finding Patrick to talk to him, since we can no longer hear from room to room.

The zen lounge, a mostly useless space at the top of the stairs - nobody can stand up beyond the blue candle holder.



The well-equipped kitchen - office through beaded curtain, another door to basement, another to the rest of the house.



Patrick's piano at the front of the dining/music room.



The view from the front entrance - we've already moved that painting.
